That is my reply when people ask me how things are going with D. So far so good. The current drawback is my lack of babysitters. My mom is the one that watches my daughter for me. I have one friend that she would be more than happy to take care of her for an evening, she lives vicariously through my semi-love life. That is how it goes for most single moms I guess.
I told a friend I want to make him things, I want to see him, hang out with him, just be with him when ever. It feels weird to say it. One friend says I am smitten, I know that I do like him, care for him and want to see him. It turned out I had a sitter for friday and he had other plans. I wasn't sure I could do Saturday night (the whole mom watching her again thing). And he told me even if we just meet for coffee I would like to just see you. That is a smile on the outside and inside moment. So far so good. I am happy.
I am having a fat week. It is a little too cold for skirts (plus I have been running late and can't shave that is bad). so it has been jeans all week. I feel a bit like a schlump. But it is a fat week. But happy on the inside makes me smile on the outside, so it all evens out. So far so good.
I am looking at more knitting patterns and yarn. It is too bad you can't fondle the yarn via the internet. I think that has saved me a few hundred dollars though. The fact that I can't see how the yarn feels. But that almost makes me want to drive up to Phoenix to check out a store in Scottsdale to see the line of art yarns for myself. Hold it, touch it, fondle it. OK this is a little too touchy feeley now. After listening to an episode of KnitCast an interview with Annie Modesitt I checked out her most popular pattern for the silk corset. She said,"It makes a size 22 look like a sexy size 22". It almost makes me want to spend $100 dollars on the silk yarn to try it out. The only problem is noted above, touchy feeley, I can't see the colors for myself and I didn't like the yellow/green combo she used enough to do that for me.
I am a blues and purples kind of girl, even reds and browns, but not green and yellow. The computer nazi's are slowly sucking the fun out of down time. I haven't been able to check out as many of the Personal Web Pages - as they are now filtered content. Oh well I still have LJ and my love, e-bay.
